UFC Light Heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones was arrested early this morning for DUI after he totaled his Bentley in upstate New York ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jones was involved in an accident at around 5:00 AM in Binghamton, NY. We're told the car -- which Jones crashed into a pole -- was totaled and cops arrested Jones on the scene for DUI.

According to our sources, Jones was taken into custody by Broome County Sheriff and bailed out a few hours later ... by his mom. Jones is from nearby Ithaca.

Jones last fought on April 21, defeating Rashad Evans by unanimous decision. His next scheduled fight is on September 1 in Las Vegas against Dan Henderson.


Via text, UFC prez Dana White tells TMZ, "Wow, i guess its not my week is it?"

WHY DO YOU GOT TO STEAL MY THREAD?



EDIT: Remember guys Jones wanted to be a better person than Ali.

 

[NomarTyme]

Wow.

 

[Gr1mLock]

Somewhere scooter is slitting his wrists.

*edit* Yamato vs Nat hell in a cell confirmed.

That's lame as hell. I'll never get why rich people don't use full-time on-call drivers. If this is the kind of life he's living though, and the kind of judgment he shows, I'm going to have to greatly diminish my expectations. Glad that it looks like no one else got hurt.

It ain't no thing to Ninja, he supports Mayweather. This is like 1/100th of Mayweather.

I'm shocked. DUI is serious stuff.
Especially for someone who has 3 kids....

What a surprise the guy who snitched out weed smokers as a kid is a scumbag who drinks and drives.

SHOCKER!

He uses that story to show how respectful of the law he is. He turns around and does this.

I don't think he's balling like that yet. He was living in an apartment until very recently. Hell he may still be there. The Bentley is rumored to be a gift from the UFC when he flew out to Vegas and failed to renegotiate his contract.

At least he doesn't smoke weed, get suspended for a year, and duck a fight he said was for charity.

 

[dabig2]

DUI...zero tolerance for that shit. You kinda lose that role model status you go for when you drink and drive.

God dammit I can't believe I am about to do this but...


Diaz gave the money to the charity. The money came from out of his pocket. They may be idiots but at least the Diaz bros seem like good dudes.

That pretty much disqualifies anyone who's ever been on TV in some form then as a role model, which they probably shouldn't have been in the first place.

Snitches get stitches. Poor Bentley.
And Estima would have reaped Nick, so mad that didn't go down.

Jones driving drunk vs. Nick video blogging on the highway high as a kite.

WAR.

 

[Alex Anderson]

Damn, I wouldn't have expected something like this from Jon Jones. I'm just glad he didn't hurt anyone, the dummy.

 

[soultron]

I have no stake in JJ as a person since I know next to nothing about him, but I'm just glad he didn't hurt/kill anyone.

One hit a pole, the other one is diaz.

One hit a pole, the other one smokes pole.

Correct response.

 

[Dysun]

Tis a good day for Jon Jones haters

 

[Kusagari]

JJ has always seemed like one of those guys who loves to be preachy, but probably doesn't back it up.

 

[Az987]

Did he call the police on himself?

I'm sure it's the most exciting day of your life.

What you're saying is he is fake? Like many people including Evans has been saying for a long time.

Rashad would be the expert on being fake, I'll give you that one.

 

[AstroLad]

i think this level of stupidity sort of transcends the pro-wrestling bullshit from the MMA thread and from the ufc itself. this is potentially really bad for the ufc too because they banked so much on him and he was one of their few young stars. but then again we do live in a forgive and forget culture so who knows. especially if he talks about jesus a lot and redeeming himself

[TheNatural]

I'll go back to my conspiracy theory before the fight, Rashad putting something in his drink to get him to piss hot. Now it's going to come out Rashad couldn't beat him, so he makes up to his good friend Johnny and takes him out on a night on the town, and then ruins his special night by convincing him he can make it home.

Rampage caused a miscarriage on his Monster drink rampage.

 

[TheKaeptain]

How long until he enters into rehab or AA?

 

[systematic]

“We came up with a strategy to keep it clean and be sponsored by the UFC itself. I’m glad the UFC wanted to work with me as well, and I think that they trust that I’ll never make them look bad. You never have to worry about me with a DWI (driving while under the influence) or doing something crazy,” Jones explained.

Hmm, I'm just seeing short blurbs and it sounds like she miscarried but the district attorney said it wasn't from the accident. Was it just coincidence?

"A lady tried to sue me and say she had a miscarriage because of the accident, but the DA (District Attorney) said it had nothing to do with the miscarriage."

Yeah I just remember nothing came of it.
